I used these to hold patio lights and sailcloths between 6 sets of these poles, 2 with extensions. They are heavy and will never individually bend!I mounted 18-24" deep in concrete and each base pole is perfectly vertical. The joints screw together with blind threads so it is aesthetically clean. The problem is the thread spec is coarse but not deep enough to seat properly to keep aligned, and while they get very tight when assembled with no sideways pressure (I tightened with pipe wrenches), after connecting up the lights and sailcloth with pressure from the spans of 15-20 feet, the joints pull and cock the pole at each joint above the base (fully vertical) pole. See my pix. So the upper sections of the poles are not vertical. Over $700 spent to end up with this problem.My solution unfortunatly will have to be to tack weld each joint, since they are installed in concrete and I can't remove the base pole without making a mess. I'm not worried about them coming apart... they are very strong. Its just the thread joints are not standard NPS or NPT.The manufacturer needs to change the thread and joint design to make this a 5* product.

The poles look wonderful, 3 pieces that screw together SOLID, or so I thought. I bought the poles last year and stored them in my shed until this spring to put up a shade sail. I put up the shade sail and all was good temporarily. I had placed the bottom third of the poles in concrete. Then I screwed in the other 2 poles and erected the shad sail. The next morning one pole separated by the bottom screw part and fell over. After I screwed it together again, I pushed on the pole and the pole came apart again. Somehow the screw part of the pole is not holding much force at all. Now I have 2 parts of the poles in concrete, shade sail not erected, and poles that won't hold a load. All I want is for the poles to work. Help?

I installed three of these so far for my sails. two of them fell apart in the wind, sail attached pulled the sections apart. The threads on the sections strip out easily. So I put them back together and put a stick of rebar down the post and filled with concrete. Very strong now. Just a suggestion when using.

Bought 6 of these (4 -126” and 2 -140”) to support three 12 ft x 12 ft sun shade sails. Liked the fact that can be screwed together. However, the threaded joints are the week link and the poles will bend or break at the threaded joints. After a couple of windy days (40 mph wind) several of the poles were bent and one broke. Have replaced two of the poles with 3” diameter pipes that I bought from a local steel supplier for for about the same price as what I paid for one of the post from Amazon.

The bases are heavy-duty and powder coated. The anchor holes are 5/8, so there's some tolerance for drilling exact anchor placement holes in concrete when using 1/2 Red Heads. The connecting threads for the separately ordered uprights are pressed in to the base steel pipe . . .some times not so perfectly square.

We put our poles together and cemented them into the ground, attached our sail in the backyard. Less than an hour later both poles had fallen over and come apart at the seams. Bad thing is we had not tightened the sail yet. The poles both came apart in the direction of the sail.

Worked great, moved further back then it needed to be so it was out of the way between the trees. Also found it was easier to tighten the joints after it was placed in concrete.
